Message	Facts: May 1st broke down w clutch issue, had car towed home. Has been parked since, and I've made it a point to start it almost every day, bringing it up to operating temp. Just got home from an 8 day trip, so car sat 8 days without being started. Wouldn't start today, battery just clicks. It's a Duralast (Autozone) battery, maybe 9 months old. Question: is it normal/expected for battery to die given my situation or is my charging system (alternator) faulty? I'm heading to Autozone tomorrow to exchange it under warranty and will test my system's charge, but wanted your expert opinions first. Thanks fellaz!
